How did Sidney Webb reorganize the University of London?

Sidney Webb played a pivotal role in the transformation of the University of London by reorganizing it into a federation of teaching institutions.12

Prior to this reorganization, the university functioned primarily as an administrative entity that examined and conferred degrees on students from various colleges without providing its own instruction. Through his efforts, Webb helped shift the university toward a structure that integrated teaching institutions, a process that also saw the London School of Economics and Political Science—which he cofounded—become a constituent college of the university in 1900.342
